Erika O'Shea arrived at Arden Street as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from Gaelic football in recent years having been named in the All-Ireland team in 2021 - a testament to her professionalism and drive at such a young age.

A quick mover with elite endurance, O'Shea's natural athletic attributes saw her find a home in defence for the Kangaroos.

North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos debut: Round 1, 2022 S7

2023: The club's 2022 Season 7 Best Young Player Award winner took another step forward in her young career, becoming a dangerous interceptor off half-back.

She averaged 5.2 intercept possessions per game and notched personal game-highs for disposals (18) and marks (seven).

O’Shea brought up another milestone in the final round of the season, slotting her first ever goal, and after heartbreakingly missing out on the prior season's finals series, she made her finals debut in the qualifying final against Melbourne.
